Tips from 1870 | Usage: After Verbs and Prepositions. When a pronoun depends upon a verb or a preposition the pronoun must be in the objective case. "Between you and I, that picture is very faulty." The pronouns you and I depend upon the preposition between. The pronoun I should therefore be in the objective case, and the sentence should be, "Between you and me, that picture is very faulty." "The president of the meeting appointed you and I upon the committee." As both pronouns are objects of the transitive verb appointed, both should be in the objective case. You having the same form in the objective as in the nominative is, therefore, correct, but I should be changed to me. "The teacher selected he and I to represent the class." The pronouns are the objects of the verb selected, and should be changed to him and me. The infinitive to represent, like other infinitives, can have no subject, and, therefore, does not control the case of the pronouns. Source: Slips of Speech. |
